The CV builder, screen by screen
Most builders sell you a screenshot. This page walks through what is actually on the screen — the split editor, the live page beside it, and every control in between — and is honest about the things the tool does not do.

Senior Product Designer
Senior product designer with nine years of experience shaping B2B SaaS products used by more than two million people. I pair rigorous discovery with fast, high-fidelity prototyping, and I am happiest when a design decision can be traced back to a measured user outcome. Previously led the design system that unified four product surfaces at Atlas Cloud, cutting new-feature design time by 40%.
Design lead for the Workspace pillar — onboarding, billing and the admin console — supporting 2.1M monthly active users across web and mobile.
- Rebuilt the self-serve onboarding flow, lifting activation from 34% to 58% within two quarters.
- Created and shipped the Atlas Design System (180 components, 3 platforms), reducing time-to-first-prototype by 40%.
- Introduced a fortnightly research cadence; 46 studies run in 18 months now inform the roadmap.
- Mentored four designers, two of whom were promoted to senior level.
Second designer in a 25-person fintech startup. Owned the merchant-facing dashboard end to end, from problem framing through to shipped interface.
- Shipped a reconciliation dashboard that cut average support tickets per merchant by 31%.
- Ran the first accessibility audit in company history and closed 92% of WCAG AA issues.
- Established the component library that the engineering team still builds on today.
Agency work across fifteen client engagements in retail, travel and public sector, from brand-led marketing sites to internal tooling.
- Delivered a booking flow redesign that increased completed reservations by 22%.
- Standardised the studio’s handoff process, halving design-to-development clarification cycles.
Thesis on trust signals in financial interfaces, supervised by the LIG research group.
An open-source UI kit for North African e-commerce, with first-class RTL support and Arabic type pairing guidance.
- 4.1k GitHub stars and 60+ contributors.
- Adopted by three regional marketplaces.
A volunteer-built platform matching solar installers with rural cooperatives; designed and built the entire front end.
- Deployed across 12 cooperatives in the Souss-Massa region.
For the Atlas Cloud marketing relaunch.
Over 300 hours of one-to-one mentoring for designers entering the industry, with a focus on the MENA region.

The layout
Three panes, no hidden modes
Left: the section rail
Every section of your CV as a row you can drag. Grab a handle and the order changes in the preview as you drop it — the array position is the render order, so there is no separate “apply” step. Toggle a section off and it disappears from the page without deleting the content behind it.
Middle: the form
One panel per section, with fields for the things that actually belong on a CV: role, company, location, start and end dates, a one-line description and a list of achievement bullets. Long text fields grow as you type instead of scrolling inside a tiny box.
Right: the page
A real A4 or US Letter page, laid out at true page pixels and scaled down with a CSS transform rather than reflowed at a smaller width. That is why the preview is trustworthy: it is not an approximation of the PDF, it is the PDF at a different zoom level.
Features
What the builder does
A preview that is the document
The preview and the exported PDF are produced by the same React component. There is no second renderer that can disagree with the first, which is the usual reason a downloaded CV looks nothing like the screen.
Autosave while you type
Edits are written roughly once every 1.2 seconds during active typing, and immediately when you leave a field. Close the tab mid-sentence and the sentence is still there.
Drag to reorder anything
Sections, jobs inside a section, and bullets inside a job. A career changer can lift Skills above Experience in about two seconds; a graduate can put Education first without editing a template.
Template switching keeps your text
Your content and your styling are two separate objects. Switching from a serif classic to a two-column tech layout changes only the styling object — no re-typing, no lost bullets, no truncation.
Zoom and page navigation
Zoom the preview to read 7pt type, or zoom out to see where page two begins. Page breaks are visible while you edit, so you find the orphaned heading before a recruiter does.
A4 or US Letter, per document
A4 is 794 × 1123 px at 96 dpi; US Letter is 816 × 1056 px — wider and 67 px shorter. Choose per CV, because the same document on the wrong paper can push your last line onto a second page.
Twelve built-in sections
Profile, experience, education, skills, projects, certifications, languages, awards, volunteering, publications, interests and references. Custom sections beyond those twelve are a paid feature.
Room for a long career
A single document holds up to 40 roles, 20 education entries, 80 skills and 30 projects. The constraint on your CV should be the reader’s attention, not the software.
PDF export in one click
Headless Chromium renders the same markup with the fonts embedded and hands back a file named after you — amina-el-fassi-cv.pdf, not document(3).pdf.
How it works
From empty document to exported PDF
- 1
Start a document
Open a blank CV or load the built-in worked example and edit over it. The example is a complete, realistic CV, which is a far faster starting point than an empty form.
- 2
Fill the left, watch the right
Work top to bottom: header, experience, education, skills. The page on the right redraws as you type, so you always know how much room is left.
- 3
Try three templates
Switch layouts with your real content in place. A design that looked elegant with placeholder text often falls apart with a nine-year career in it — and vice versa.
- 4
Export the PDF
Download the file, open it once to check the page breaks, and send it. The PDF carries embedded fonts, so it renders identically on a recruiter’s machine.
Templates
Every template runs in the same editor

Limits
What it deliberately does not do
It will not write your CV for you
There is no button that invents achievements. The bullets have to come from your own work — the editor makes them fast to write and easy to reorder, and that is the honest limit of what a layout tool can do.
There is no .docx export
Only PDF. A Word file re-flows on a machine with different fonts, which defeats the point of designing the page in the first place. If an employer insists on Word, use their own form or template.
There is no import from an old PDF
Extracting text from a two-column PDF reliably scrambles the reading order. Copying and pasting section by section takes about ten minutes and gives you a chance to cut the dead weight.
We do not score your writing
Templates carry an ATS parse score from 1 to 5, because that is a property of a layout and can be tested. A number claiming your career is “87% optimised” would be invented.
You cannot drag a text box anywhere
Layout is owned by the template. You choose the template, the accent colour, the paper and the section order; the template keeps the typography consistent so the document still looks deliberate at 2 a.m.
Questions about the editor
Open the editor and put your own text in it
The fastest way to judge a CV builder is to paste one job into it and see what the page does. That takes about four minutes and costs nothing.
No credit card. Your CV stays in your account whether or not you ever upgrade.
